HC Deb 19 February 1924 vol 169 c1557W
Captain BULLOCK

asked the Secretary of State for War if he has received representations that in the official volume issued by his Department of soldiers who died in the Great War, 1914–19, only those men are included who died between the actual outbreak of hostilities and the date of the Armistice; whether seeing that those men who died immediately afterwards, after having served years at the Front, are not included, with the result that their relatives and friends have no official recognition of the sacrifices made by the dead men, he will under these circumstances, consider the issue of a supplementary volume containing the names of all those who died as a result of the Great War between the. Armistice and before demobilisation, and whose names have been omitted from the volume specified?

Mr. WALSH

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative, except that the roll of names was kept open beyond the date of the Armistice in the case of men who were killed in action or who died of wounds after that date. As regards the last part of the question, I will consider the hon. and gallant Member's suggestion.
